Exceeded expectations. Very usable, with good consistency and easy cleanup. Saved a 30-year-old book that had a seam tear, HIGHLY recommend.

I wanted to try making my own notepads. I bought these because someone on TikTok used them to make notepads. Works amazing, notepads came out great, easy to rip the top sheet from the rest of the pad. I stacked 40-50 sheets and held them together with some binder clips. I used a brush to coat the top edge with the glue and did 3 thin coats, drying in between each coat. Dries clear. Would get again if I run out!!

The glue is white colored, and doesn't smell of anything, seems to looks like Elmer's glue but less viscous. I applied the glue with a binding cloth for reinforcement of a damaged book; it works well and is slightly pliable when opening the book. I wiped excess glue with a tissue and a small amount of alcohol, and it binds well.

Used to glue the spine back on my Bible. Works really fast so be ready to put your book or whatever you're using it for. The glue dried clear and has been holding on to my favorite book for 2 years now. Its the one I use the most so I want sure how well it would hold, it's holding great!

I use this glue all the time for book binding or poster making. It’s super easy to use and dries quickly, clear, and is incredibly flexible!

Product arrived as advertised. The application and product performance was wonderful. The product was true the description of a clear drying which is important when restoring book binding. Thank you.

This works great. I had a cookbook that had fallen apart on me with some of my favorite recipes. It seemed a shame to let it go, so I got this and a bookbinding kit with a press, paintbrush, string, etc. This was recommended as the best kind of glue to use and it certainly was. It adheres nicely, it's thick enough to work itself into the paper layers, and it holds well. The key is something that's not brittle, and this is definitely not brittle. All in all I'm pleased with the results.

It's a good product

Compré este adhesivo para un proyecto Pop‑Up con piezas móviles y cartulina gruesa, y la verdad: me ha sorprendido muchísimo. La textura es fluida pero fácil de controlar, se reparte sin dramas y seca rápido, pero sin ese estrés de “¡ay, aún no lo he colocado bien!”. Da tiempo a ajustar y queda firme como una roca. El envío llegó perfecto y bien protegido, cosa que siempre se agradece. En resumen: pegado limpio, profesional y sin sustos. Muy recomendable si quieres que tus proyectos queden de 10.

Alles Ok 👌

Works as expected

Did an excellent job of repairing pages that were coming or of an old family Bible.
